Mark Roxey, Founder and Artistic Director of the Roxey Ballet comments, "We are proud to produce a concert that will honor Hunterdon County and New Jersey in so many ways. Our dancers will highlight history by performing to Richard's songs and poems that were inspired by Lambertville's JameS Marshalls, a gold pioneer, and by George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River. Nalani and Sarina will perform original duets and lead interactive song sessions about life in the Garden State that the entire family will enjoy. Never before seen traditional and contemporary ballet pieces will round out this unique event." Mr. Roxey continues, "Please join us for this once-in-a-lifetime concert! You will see dance in a entirely new light".
